Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in the Emergency Department

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in the Emergency Department This article, “Concussion Care in the Emergency Department: A Prospective Observational Brief Report,” by Koval et al. (2019) seeks to examine current clinician practice patterns related to the evaluation and management of patients identified as at risk for a sustained mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The findings are discussed in the context of an evaluation and management gap surrounding mTBI care among emergency department (ED) providers at a Level I trauma and emergency care center. Although variabilities exist among mTBI care in the ED, provider education, standardization of guidelines, and implementation practices are strategies for increasing the uptake of care in the ED for patients presenting with mTBI. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

This article, “Concussion Care in the Emergency Department: A Prospective Observational Brief Report,” by Koval et al. (2019) seeks to examine current clinician practice patterns related to the evaluation and management of patients identified as at risk for a sustained mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The findings are discussed in the context of an evaluation and management gap surrounding mTBI care among emergency department (ED) providers at a Level I trauma and emergency care center. Although variabilities exist among mTBI care in the ED, provider education, standardization of guidelines, and implementation practices are strategies for increasing the uptake of care in the ED for patients presenting with mTBI.
